Re: OT > Problems & more problems

Did you not watch "Watchdog" this evening Stuart?....

An item about this very thing....

you "may" be OK depending on when you bought it, - It seems that
the Dixons
group have taken over a large portion of the Tempo extended warranties...

In fact before this had even occurred to me, I got a letter from Dixons
group last week telling me about the new warranty arrangements for my
"Bosch
something or other" - it took me hours to figure out what the item
was!! (my
electric oven) which we bought from Tempo about 3 years ago...
